The report also hinted at the way the partially-solar Toyota would work, where solar panels on the car's roof would supplement electric power drawn from solar panels on a house's roof as the car charges in the garage, adding up to a mostly-solar-powered vehicle. Should have started using this technology back in the early 90's when I first discovered solar powered vehicles.

Toyota Prius Solar Shell Technology
Toyota is reportedly still working on that Prius with solar panels (pictured below) to partially power its air conditioning, but now a confidential file from Toyota has leaked that trumps that by a mile.
